Paklenica National Park, one of the most attractive natural phenomena, is a challenge to numerous mountaineers. It is situated in the south-eastern part of the Velebit littoral slope, comprises one of the largest forests in the Mediterranean and two picturesque canyons; Velika and Mala Paklenica. On the opposite side of the valley is Maniti Zub, a protruding peak of karsts formation and the entrance into the best known cave with a stunning view on stalagmites and stalactites.Paklenica abounds with numerous natural wonders and phenomena, which is why the entire area was proclaimed a national park in 1949. And rightfully so, as this region is simple and unusual in its connection between the sea and the mountains, rich in beech and black pine forests, its deep canyons cut vertically into the Velebit ridge, its karst formations and numerous caves and pits. http://www.paklenica.hr/En/index_en.html
